A Bronze Age barrow in Suffolk sat empty for 2,000 years. Then Romans enclosed it, built a painted shrine beside it, and buried six pig skulls facing east. Nobody knows which god. #RomanBritain #Archaeology #BronzeAge https://www.anthropology.net/p/six-pig-skulls-facing-east-a-roman

@thesweetcheat maybe you meant to say #bronzeAge ⬆️ with an 'e' after the 'z' ?

As Britain enters its fifth heatwave this year, here is an illustration called 'Bronze Age Sun Worship' by Adolf Lehmann, 1920.

Bronze Age boat carvings reveal vast sea networks linking Iberia and Scandinavia

Bronze Age boat carvings found on rocks in Spain and Portugal suggest people living along Europe’s Atlantic coast shared ideas, technology, and beliefs across long sea routes more than 3,000 years ago...

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

A new study based on extensive data and recent excavations such as the one pictured in Békés-Várdomb (Hungary) uses the example of Southeast Europe to challenge widely held theories about the emergence of social hierarchies in prehistory. It has been published now at #ScienceAdvances:

Happy #FindsFriday!

Today I dropped by my local museum and had a squint at their 'Into the West' display (somewhat unceremoniously in the corridor upstairs). It contains some beautiful #finds I worked on earlier this year - a delight to see!

Not sure why one case was so empty - possibly those #artefacts are back in Aberystwyth?

The corbelled ceiling of the Treasury of Atreus at #Mycenae, the largest known tholos tomb in Greece. It's over 3200 years old. Despite the name, it was indeed a tomb, not a treasury.

When Schliemann excavated #Mycenae's #ShaftTombs, he could only speculate about relationship of people buried there.
